Survivor Mommy and her Christmas crew!

While it seems death is ever-present at the moment (Christian is pending, Papa R went several weeks ago, a friend lost her baby at 8 months), this photo reminds me of the miracles God performs. Just a year ago, Survivor Mommy (my partner's sis) was diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer that had metastasized to her liver and lungs. Her youngest daughter was just 2 months old at the time.

She had a colon-resection surgery in January, began chemo shortly thereafter, adopted an alkaline diet, and implemented measures to reduce stress. The doctors went from talking terminal to a more tempered outlook ("you can live with this") to shock ("I've never seen the word 'tremendous' used in a lab report before"). She claimed God's miraculous healing, prayers went up worldwide, the support staff went into action, and she is still with us.

God is indeed good.
